Learn Express.js

Learn Express.js is an engaging and beginner-friendly course designed to give you a solid foundation in building web servers using Node.js and the Express framework. You’ll start by setting up a basic server, understanding the request/response cycle, and sending responses.

As you progress, you’ll dive deeper into serving data, using query parameters, and adding path parameters to routes. The course also teaches modularizing code using express.Router(), handling “Route Not Found” errors, and configuring CORS to manage cross-origin requests. Practical examples and clear explanations help ensure you can build organized, maintainable backend applications. By the end, you’ll be ready to build your own Express.js projects confidently and efficiently, equipped with best practices and real-world knowledge. This course is project-based, so you’ll learn by building two exciting apps: 1. Startup Planet: A REST API packed with detailed information about startups from around the world. You’ll learn how to: – Create routes to serve different types of data – Handle HTTP requests and responses – Serve and filter data using Express 2.
